SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 586,712, dated J uly20, 1897.

Application filed Mayll, 1396- To all whom it may conce n.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. PAUT., a citizen of the United States,residing at 0rlando, in the county of Logan and Territory of Oklahoma,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Planes; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to-mak'e and use the same.

This invention relates to planes, and more particularly to plane-bits. j

My object is to provide an improved and simple plane-bit which Will becapable of quick and easy adjustment or removal.

The invention consists of certain novel features and combinationsappearingmore indetail hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is .a sectional side elevation,and Fig.2 a top view.

A designates the plane-body, which is provided with the usual handle B.j

The sides of the body are provided with respective rearwardly-inclinedbit -slides C,

which have arc-shaped notches E in their upper ends. I also provide thesides with in wardly-projecting .lugs G and H, through which passrespective clamping screws I and J.

My improved bit K is provided with integral upwardly-projecting screws Land M, on

which are located circular ad justing-nuts N and O, which project intothe notchesE and F.

The bit is adjusted in the following manner: The nuts are turned toadvance or retreat the bit, and when properly adjusted the clampingscrews are screwed down, thus holding the bit firmly in adjustedposition. The bit is not quite the width of the plane-body, so thateither nut can be adjusted to slightly tilt it either to the right orleft, so that the cutting edge will lie parallel with the bottom of theplane.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is-' 1. In aplane, the combination with a planebody of inclined bit-slides securelyfastened thereto, a bit having screw-threaded arms, located at oppositesides thereof and secured thereto and nuts carried on said arms and en-Serial No. 591,136. (No model.)

body, of inclined bit-slides securely fastened thereto, said slidesbeing provided with notches, a bit movable on the slides and havi ngscrew-threaded arms at its opposite sides,

nuts carried on the armsand loosely received in the notches, earssecured to the plane-body, and clamping-screws passing through the earsand binding on the bit-slides.

4. In a plane, the. combination with a planebody, of bit-slides securedto the body, a bit movable .on said slides, said bit being pro vided'withjintegral screw-threaded arms L andM, circular nuts N and O looselyreceived on the bit-slides, and clamping-screws I and J adapted to bindon the bit-slides.

The combination with the plane-stock having its sides provided withrearwardly-inclined bit-slidesand arc-shaped notches at their upper endsand lugs projecting inwardly from theinner walls of the opposite sides,of a bit mounted for movement in said slides beneath said lug andprovided with integral upwardly-projecting screws, one at each edge,nuts on said screws projecting into said notches and set-screws passedthrough said inwardly-extendinglugs at right angles to the screws andbearing against the bit whereby the bit may be adjusted in eitherdirection by manipulation of said nuts and also tilted to either theright orleft to bring the cutting edge thereof parallel with thebottom'of the plane, substantially as described. I

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in thepresence oftwo subscribing witnesses. l 7
